HELP????

[Jster]

My dog is sick, or in pain, I am hoping someone can tell me NOW if panting is a sign of pain. She yelps at times but as I feel her everywhere she doesn't yelp. She refused her dinner! THIS is NOT normal!!  I have made plans for tomorrow to take her to the vet, but I am afraid right NOW! She is cowering and panting and NOT EATING!!!! ANYONE THERE???

At least you found the cause. Is the dog crate trained, which I believe all dogs should be. What breed of dog?  Try using a baby gate to possibly confine her to one room and only take out on a leash.

Thanks, that was a bad night! I found out that my foster teen STEPPED on her and didn't tell me! Poor dog! I was frantic when I posted that. Now she has pain meds and anti inflam meds but how will I keep her still for a week!! gulp! Thanks for the answer

This can be typical signs of pain or discomfort.  I'd try and get her in today.
